The 31-year-old was in a relaxed mood as he showcased his ball skills before taking time to address fans who were at their training base - the usual home of the France rugby team.

In one nice touch, Portugal's No 7 took a selfie on one supporter's phone - in what is sure to be a lifetime memento.

Ronaldo wasn't the only member of the Portuguese squad to do so with Ricardo Quarsema getting in on the act too.

Santos will be hoping their experience can fire a stuttering Portugal attack to the final of Euro 2016 on July 10.

The closest Ronaldo has come to success with Portugal was losing the Euro 2004 final against Greece but, although he said it would be a 'dream' to succeed with the national team, he says he can already reflect on his career with pride after success at Manchester United and now Real Madrid.

Fernando Santos will be hoping to mastermind Portugal to their first-ever European Championship title

Portugal booked their place in the semi-finals of Euro 2016 by knocking out Poland 5-3 on penalties after a 1-1 draw on Thursday, and Ronaldo said: 'Even if my career finished today, I would still feel privileged.

'But I've always said, and I don't hide it, that I would love to win a title with the national team. We're on the right road. The dream is getting closer.'

Ronaldo played down criticism of his own performances at Euro 2016 after he was outshone by team-mates Nani and Renato Sanches on Thursday night in Marseille.

'My own performance is not important,' he said. 'What counts is the team and we did a fantastic job. I worked hard for the team, although I did not score. The objective was to go through. We are in the semis and go on from here. Maybe no one gave us a chance, but we are already in the semi-finals.'

Portugal will face Wales at the Stade des Lumieres in Lyon on Wednesday night.
